The Chinese word 出示 is formed by combining two characters, each contributing its core meaning to create a new, unified concept. The first character, 出 (chū), carries the fundamental idea of "to exit", "to bring out", or "to produce". The second character, 示 (shì), means "to show", "to indicate", or "to display". Their combination is logically sequential and semantic: one first brings out (出) an object (like an ID or a ticket) in order to show (示) it to someone, thus forming the complete meaning of "to show", "to present", or "to produce (for inspection)".
